Thank You Conference Attendees

Lambton Wildlife would like to thank
ON Nature & CCC Exploring Our Watersheds Conference
attendees. The conference was held here in Sarnia at the end of May. A raffle to win native trees was held at the conference's banquet dinner and it raised $430 for our Young Naturalist's Program.

The money will go a long way to help foster an environmental outlook in our youth. Thank you.
